Honestly, I hardly understand Deadalus and Icarus when I read it at the first time. I read this story for about twice plus some discussions and information from my friends, I finally get what the story was about.
During Dr Edwin’s class, when some of my classmates were assigned to write the plot of Deadalus and Icarus on the board, I then realized that I missed one part of the story! Luckily I was not asked to write on the board. I missed the part on Minos’ illegitimate daughter and how she managed to escape from the maze. All that I set in my mind was a creature! Gosh! I think I should be more alert next time.
Besides that, we were also assigned to print out the drawing of the ‘Fall of Icarus’. When we discussed with Dr Edwin, most of my friend got the wrong picture. As a matter of fact, the right picture of ‘The Fall of Icarus’ do not really shows the falling of Icarus. There was just small Icarus’ leg and he seems drowning plus, there is nothing flying in the picture at all.
However, when I look back at the picture and read again the story, I can see that the details like shepherd and fisher in the picture does exist in the story. I am absolute agree that using pictures does helping in studying the story a lot. I tend to see it more clear than just reading itself alone.

Here, I pin up the right picture of the Fall of Icarus which Dr Edwin said that can be found in London.
